Yes, I wondered too. I haven't read any Anita Shreve, but if she's wishy-washy I clearly don't want to sound like her! On the other hand, she does sell and sell... What surprises me, on the strength of this endorsement (rather than review) and the Daily Mail review, is that I seem to have written a book that may actually have mass appeal. Next stop, Richard and Judy?
